Pedaling Innovations Catalyst

Last year I switched from riding SPD pedals on my bikepacking bike to flat pedals. I’ve ridden SPD’s for just about as long as there have been SPD’s and despite coming from a BMX background and being comfortable on flatties I’ve always preferred to be clipped in on a MTB. The main reason for the…

stif morf review

If you’ve been in to mountain biking for any length of time, and by that I mean over twenty years, you’ll remember gazing lovingly into the adverts in the back pages of MBUK and those undoubtedly included Stif. They’ve been around since the eighties when they were Stif Sailboards, selling mountain bikes to windsurfers for…

Travers Russ Ti

A recent look on the equipment page on Strava revealed that my Travers and I have now spent 5000 miles together. It’s quite interesting to look back at the original photos and see how the kit on the bike has changed since it first turned up in November 2015, but I can safely say that…

Sick Bicycle Company Gnarcissist

I met Jordan when chatting on instagram and I built up his new DH bike for him, while we were chatting he was telling me about the bike company he was starting with his mate Tim and the crazy hardtail they had planned. Fast forward a few weeks and the prototype was made and the…

Jim & Tom Tour Divide

I thought I’d give a breakdown of my bikepacking toolkit. This is the full set up I took for the Tour Divide, so in reality there may be a little more there than you would use for a couple of days riding round Wales, but in the end I had to know that I could…

Equipment Review

My bike set up has changed quite a lot since I first dipped my toe into the world of bikepacking. My initial forays were just with a dry bag stuck on the handlebars, held on by a couple of bungee cords. Ultimately though once I got more involved it was clear something a little more…

Travers Russ Ti

It’s not about the bike… or is it? Who am I kidding I love bikes, I love shiny stuff, and I love putting something together from the ground up and building a bike that works exactly the way I want it to. I’m lucky as I work in the cycle trade and have had a…
